It is difficult to find a location anywhere in or around the town walls where it might have been. Some other documents suggest that the "Negropont galley" usually spent the winter at Candia. The meager evidence for the arsenal, other than this, could be associated with the armory in the south end of town where the large store of helmets, such as the ones in the Met in New York, were found in 1840. The one possible place for an arsenal that could park a galley is the swampy Bourkos inlet, that defines the city along the south. If it was there. it certainly left no trace, and the artillery platforms and sea-gates along the south wall seem oddly placed if there was a ship-shed there. Just what was really done with all that wood?Pierre MacKayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06539446944905632852noreply@blogger.com
